Once again, we have evidence that Drew Barrymore is one of the least problematic celebrities when connecting with her fans.
In a snippet of The Drew Barrymore Show shared on her Instagram, the actor and talk show host answered an audience member’s question, “What is your secret is to aging gracefully and being so comfortable in her own skin for so many years.”
“I haven’t done anything and I want to try, and stay that way,” Drew said. “But I also am like, do whatever works for you. I know this woman who went through so much stuff in her life, and she just did something and it made her feel so good about herself, and it like changed her whole perspective.”
“The only thing I do know is don’t judge other people because they do things differently,” she clarified.
“We’re all on our own path, and we have to support each other,” Drew added, explaining that she can sometimes focus on specific areas of her body that change as she ages.
“I see a lot of turkey neck or I have a lot of other time where I’m like ‘Oh Wow, we’re there now.'”
“I want to tell myself not to be so mean to myself. I cannot believe the first thing we say and do when we look in the mirror. How many beautiful moments do we even get the privilege of seeing our reflection and that person looking back at us is us?” Drew questioned.
“So the kinder, more patient, more resilient, more loving, embracing, less dismissive that we can be, the better it is for our mental game and spiritual game, which affects the face,” she said.
“A smile is better than any lipstick you’ll buy, and internal dialogue that isn’t so eviscerating of ourselves and so quick to catch a flaw — who says that’s the flaw, by the way, that might be someone else’s favorite thing about you…how ironic. It isn’t how you look, it’s how you feel,” Drew finished.
Drew’s graceful response generated a lot of positive feedback, with people opening up about how her transparency made them feel about their journey with accepting their bodies.
One person said, “Your amazing. 🙌Today I looked at my hands and sadly did just that said oh no my hands are old when I should have said looks these hands made it through so much and there mine and healthily and experienced hand that held my babies and held my parents hand for the last time and the hand that my husband reach for and kisses from time to time.”
Another person said, “You are such an inspiration! I am so nonjudgmental, except when it comes to myself. I have been for my whole 61 years of life. I’ve never been pretty enough, skinny enough, smart enough, good enough etc…. I wish I had heard your words so many years ago. ❤️”
This user said, “We weren’t meant to look at ourselves so often.” The suggested that we “invented vanity when we invented mirrors and cameras. We are meant to be seen in movement and through the eyes of others so believe when someone says you are beautiful because they see the real you.”
Finally, this person said, “The key is not to judge others. Be respectful as Drew says you never know what someone else is going through. ❤️”
